Hi Dawn, I was born in Nuneaton , Warwickshire, my mum and dad lived there for a few years, I haven't been there since though. Louisex

Hi Dawn, do you live far from Devon now? I moved away when I was younger but came back 5 years ago when I had the kids. I used to hate Devon growing up here because I thought it was so boring but now I love it, much more laidback than anywhere else I've been. Louisex

Hi everyone, thanks very much for your help. Thanks Wendy, they certainly moved around a lot! Lita, my family on my grandads side are all from Exeter, I wasn't born here but my parents moved down to Okehampton about 20 years ago. Nice to have somebody nearby, you must know Exeter quite well? Thanks again Louisex

His father was RICHARD HAMLING, a Merchant (in 1852). They should be around the Brixham area, last address I have in 1851- THE QUAY, TOTNES, BRIXHAM.
